It's *aitch* [angry]

[ohmymimi]

Justine Greening on 'The Sunday Politics' constantly saying 'haitch' - beyond irritating.

[PattyPuddy]

I agree - drives me mad too.

[PearlArgyle]

It is! Very irritating.

[SunnyL]

It depends where in the country you come from surely? In Scotland most people I know say Haitch.

But then we also know how to pronounce an R properly

[TheDoctrineOfWho]

Yes, it is.

[ohmymimi]

Glad to hear you know how to roll your rs , Sunny

[funnyossity]

Haitch is the norm in speakers of Irish English.

I've heard Scots pronounce the letter J as "Jai". Widen your horizons OP!

[FannyFifer]

Always been aitch here.
aitch, eye, jai, kay

[iklboo]

It's aitch. It's in the dictionary as aitch. There's only one aitch in aitch.

[BackforGood]

You are SO right. It is very annoying.

[campion]

It's aitch in the dictionary, but ' because I pronounce it haitch, it's haitch' always seems to win the argument

[BunnyLebowski]

It's 'haitch' in Ireland and always will be for me!

[ifitsnotanarse]

It's haitch and or.

[BunnyLebowski]

Oh yes! 'Or' not 'arrrrr' like the English say

[iklboo]

I'm English. I don't say 'arrrr'. I'm not a pirate .

[NorthernShores]

What's the alternative to Jay then?

[picnicbasketcase]

Jai as in rhymes with eye? Mind boggle.

[NorthernShores]

Ah right I see! I'd say jai like Jay. Didn't realise there was any other way!

I do a mix of I
Aitch and haitch!

[YoureBeingASillyBilly]

It's haitch. Because helen begins with a 'heh' not an 'eh'

[Littleredsquirrel]

The name of the letter is aitch not haitch. just because it makes a h sound doesn't mean it has to start with h.

The letter s is pronounced ess not sess
The letter w is pronounced doubleyou not wubbleyou

Please please don't say haitch. It's just wrong.

I work in HR. this drives me mad.

[YoureBeingASillyBilly]

Its still haitch. Unless you're on eastenders.

[TheDoctrineOfWho]

No it isn't.

[JoanHunterDunne]

Our HR dept answer the phone with 'haitch r'.

Then I'm irrationally irritated and forget why I called.

[tracypenisbeaker]

'wubbleyou'
